All this week in a continuation of the mentorship series, I’m going to talk about qualifying for mentorship.
Qualifying?
Yes, I said qualifying.
This is one of those things folks just seem to have a hard
time understanding.
They think because they are employed somewhere that their boss is required to mentor them.
They think because they are employed somewhere that their boss is required to mentor them.
False.
Your boss supervises you but they don’t have to mentor
you. Consider it a great perk of your employment if your boss mentors you.
People believe that because they are in a church the pastor or
pastor’s wife is required to mentor them.
False.
Please consider it a great honor and privilege if your
pastor takes the extra time and care to personally mentor you. Your pastor is
entrusted with the leading of the flock the primary role of which is training
and equipping however they do have a choice of what and who to focus on within
that area.
Mentorship doesn’t happen because you just show up
somewhere. You have to qualify.
If you are thoroughly confused by now and wondering what in
the world I’m talking about and perhaps even getting a little irked, you really
need this series.
The first thing I’ll encourage you to do is pray. Ask God to
prepare you for qualification. Seek Him in leading you to the right
mentor/mentors, and ask Him to prepare your heart to receive.
